I am also an immigration, educational, and cultural competency consultant and regularly work with immigration attorneys in several states, providing expert witness affidavits and testimony in immigration courts across the country in order to help defend against deportations.

Additionally, I am the Project Manager of the local non-profit organization "Project We Hope, Dream, and Believe" where I wrote and was awarded an $380,850 Civil Rights Grant to rehabilitate the one-time Inkster home of civil rights icon Malcolm X (who once a gave a talk at Wayne State in 1963) and to transform it into a museum. In 2021, I landed the home on the National Registry of Historic Places and later, organized an archaeological excavation project at the site with Wayne State's Anthropology Department, who led the dig. 

Recently, I was selected to the Arab America Foundation's 40 under 40 list for 2022: www.arabamerica.com/arab-america-foundation-announces-40-under-40-awardees-class-of-2022/
